A Celebration of Halloween

CHAPTER

Should We Have a National Memorial to Lillius?

We still have a tendency in society to think of witches as figures of fun, things that we scare children with at Halloween. We don't recognise the fact that what we're actually talking about is the industrialized victimization of women on a horrendous scale in the modern period. There's a strong movement towards a national memorial in some recognition of the fact. And some readjustment of the way we look at historic witchcraft and talk about it. Tomorrow there's going to be a service in Forfa, which is a memorial service for all those who were accused of witchcraft in the town. I have no recall of that happening before. It's a very nice idea.
